简要总结
Investigators are trying to determine the therapeutic effect of the music glove and conventional hand exercise program to patients with spinal cord injuries. All participants will be randomized into two groups: AB and BA. They will all exercise at least 3 times a week for 3 weeks with minimum of 3 hours of exercise time per week. Participants will receive the other intervention at their 3 week post-therapy follow-up visits. Clinical evaluations will be performed at baseline 1 and 2 (3 to 10 days apart), post-therapy after the first intervention, 3-week post-therapy follow up, post-therapy after the second intervention, and 3-week post-second intervention follow up visits.

结局指标
主要结局
Box and Blocks Test
时间窗: Baseline, EOT 1st Intervention, 1 month post 1 intervention, EOT 2nd Intervention, and 1 month post 2nd Intervention.
We compared the change of Box and Blocks Test (BBT) scores from baseline evaluation to the end of 3-week of therapy, and from 1-month post first intervention to the end of the second 3-week therapy. Participants are instructed to move as many blocks as possible, one at a time, from one compartment in a box to a second compartment over a divider for a period of 60 seconds; each block that is moved is counted, and multiple blocks moved at the same time are counted as a single block. The higher scores indicate better outcomes.
次要结局
- Graded Redefined Assessment of Strength, Sensibility and Prehension (GRASSP)(Baseline, EOT 1st Intervention, 1 month post 1 intervention, EOT 2nd Intervention, and 1 month post 2nd Intervention.)
